\"GrandAfter a successful one day build up, our team at brickslips have had a fantastic first day at this years Grand Designs Exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC. <\/p>\n

Arriving an hour before showtime the brickslips team used the time to do a spot of last min cleaning and tidying prior to the official opening, giving our great range of brick slips one last spruce. <\/p>\n

The show started at 10am when the crowds were lead through the famous cloaked tunnel, and like contestants playing a game show the excitement and anticipation was great to see. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All visitors are directed to the central island where they can select a number of different zones to which they would like to venture. <\/p>\n

Reminiscent of 1990s crystal maze, the build up was extremely theatrical and was a lot of fun. It didn’t take long for the shows guests to start flooding the isles of the show. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our first day saw the team stretched with interest and furnished with some great enquiries, from a varied palette of clientele.<\/p>\n

The day also gave us chance to meet and greet some of our existing and loyal customers. Following our success at this years 100% Design Show at London’s Olympia the show had some big shoes to fill.<\/p>\n

Having given a sneak preview to some of our new up and coming products at the 100% Design show our team continued to champion the new range and have had a positive reaction from the crowds here at Grand Designs (UK construction week).<\/p>\n

\"Cleitns<\/p>\n

From the offset it was clear that there was a great deal of interest in our products and in our business which gave us inspired confidence as this was only day one. <\/p>\n

The quality of Show and the exhibitors is particularly encouraging, with some very well thought out displays and showpieces. <\/p>\n

If you feel in need of inspiration. Come see our team on stand B63<\/p>\n
